BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Former Sabres star Michael Peca is returning to the western New York hockey scene, this time as General Manager of the Junior Sabres.

The Junior Sabres announced Thursday that Michael Peca is joining the organization as its new General Manager and Ric Seiling is also joining the team as its Play-By-Play Announcer.

The Junior Sabres, operated by the Buffalo Sabres Alumni Association, is a junior-A level hockey club competing in the Ontario Junior Hockey League.

Larry Playfair, President of the Buffalo Sabres Alumni Association and Buffalo Junior Sabres, explained that by hiring Peca the team utilizes his energy and experience while allowing Grant Ledyard to focus more specifically on his role as Head Coach.

The Buffalo Junior Sabres open the 2011-2012 OJHL season against the Newmarket Hurricanes on Saturday, September 10 at 7:30pm in the Northtown Center at Amherst.
